Wow that looks great Ovr. I absolutely LOVE black cars (my favourite colour by far) and you gotta have the right set of wheels when you've got a black car. Looks like you've got em. Good stuff, thanks for the pics!

Where you taking it to Jeffy?

The plan is to go to Scarboro Mazda.  They're apparently a small dealership and have a race shop on site.  The big cheese there races a Miata so he knows his stuff and will happily work with Mazdaspeed OR other makes depending on what works best for my needs... and will then do an alignment with me in the car to ensure it's set up properly.

Hey 84, sorry I missed this post.  Mine's a GS.  I wanted the LSD and TCS more than the Bose, Xenons and SAB's.   ;D

There is a rumor going around that Mazda Canada will be offering LSD (as an option) on the  GT model (they've been getting complaints from potential customers who want all the bells and whistles and the limited slip diff.  So far, nothing on Mazda.ca's website.  Why Mazda Canada  won't offer the loaded GT with the handling package I'll never know.....maybe they don't think people will pay more.

Yes, it's apparently (according to a few people in the know on the miata.net forum) no longer a rumour but fact.  You can place an order for a GT model now with the LSD and TCS option, but nobody seems to know when they'll actually hit the dealerships.  You can bet they'll be pretty anxious to move the cars they've got in Canada already before they start ordering more.  I'm happy without the leather (and saving $4k).  :)
